Americus correspondence Macon Tete-
| graph: Our people have about all struggled
| home from the Piedmont fair, some sadder
| and all wiser than when they left home. II
! all the impositions practiced upon contid-
ing public in Atlanta this week were given
TO the people an Indignation would be
awakened that circumstances would not
abate nor time obliterate. The managers
of our exhibit in this county have Mr.
GradyS written promise that if we would
send our agricultural display to Atlanta we
! might remove it on Wednesday night, Oct
! 10. and he would see that cars were fur
nished for the purpose. Did he keep his
word On Wednesday morning the judges
had not even inspected our display, and not
until the following afternoon were the
prizes awarded. Our people feel and ex
press the opinion that this delay was for the
purpose Of keeping our exhibit away from
the State Fair. These remarks will apply
to other counties as well as Sumter.
The Solicitor Generalship of the Stone
Mountain circuit, seems to be exciting con-
siderable trouble at this time. The Legls-
lative Committee appointed to investigate
the matter reported that the office had been
Jones, the old solicitor holding over under
the law until his successor should be APP
pointed. Notwithstanding the fact that a
vacancy was reported, the Legislature went
into no election for Solicitor, leaving the
matter i'll the hands of Gov. Gordon. 1t
was currently reported about the State
House that Gov. Gordon would appoint
Col John S. Gambler, OF DeKalb county, to
fill the vacancy until the General Assembly
elected Solicitor. Col. Gambler, however,
was not appointed Saturday, and during
the morning quite a large delegation from
Dekalb county called upon the Governor,
and it is rumored, entered a protest against
the appointment of Gambler, asking that
Jones be kept in Office Nothing definite
could be ascertained, however.

Canton Advance: The negro who was ar
rested some time ago by Sheriff W. A.
Kitchen on suspicion that he was an escaped
convict, and who afterward admitted being
implicated in the killing of the Voolfolk
family, and latterly was detained in Jail
here for that crime, was released last Satur-
day by Sheriff Kitchen, for the reason he
had held the negro as long as he felt war
ranted in doing SO without some sort of a
commitment. AS before stated in the Ad-
vanCe, Jack told, while confined in Jail here,
a great deal concerning the killing of the
| Voolfolk family. Col. Frank b. Walker,
Tom Woolfolks attorney, gave the Negroes
very anxious &c, keep DuBose
i'll Jail at all hazard, yet
| for some reason he would not, or at
| least did not, swear out warrant and have
the negro regularly committed 1t is the
opinion of the Sheriff, as well as others who
| have heard the Negroes full story, that he is
too well acquainted with the facts and all
| the material circumstances connected with
| the killing not to have some criminal
knowledge of the affair. But, be that as it
may, Jack DuBose is again at liberty ito
roam this wide, WIDE world DER, " and when
last seen by the Sheriff was going down the
river road toward Gainesville on his way
to Alabama. Before leaving for always
we hope, Jack gave OzborE Smith as his
real name, and, maybe. it is.
In the Superior Court at Atlanta Satur-
day there was filed a creditors bill against
the well known firm of A. c. WHY & Co.
The bill was filed by Rhett & O'Bryan and
Walter h. Brown, representing creditors of
the firm. The parties defendant are A. c.
WHY & Co., Mrs. A. C. WHY, w. M. &,
r. j. Lowry and Oglesby d Meador The
liabilities of the firm are about $65, 900. The
| exact amount of the assets is not known.
but it is supposed to be between $50, 600 and
$4,000. Judge Clarke granted an order
restraining all of the defendants from dis
posing of any of the property of the firm,
which consists of notes, merchandise and &C.
counts. Saturday, Oct 20. is named
as the day for the hearing to decide whether
OF nOU permanent receiver snail be APP
pointed. w. NJ. a. r. j. Lowry are made
parties to the suit, because they hold at
their bank certain papers which will ac-
crue to the benefit of either the firm or the
creditors. Oglesby & Meador are made
parties because, it is alleged, on Oct. 10,
that firm bought out A. c. WHY & Co. 1t
is said that Mr.. WHY has remained ostensi-
bly, in charge until within the past day or
so. This is one of the oldest grocery houses
in the State. For a long time it was operat-
ed under the firm name of A. c. e. b. f.
WHY. but about five years ago there was
dissolution of the partnership, b. F. WHY
| going into another firm. Later A. C. WHY
took in as a partner M. l.. Roberts. The
gentlemen connected with this firm won
many friends in Atlanta, who will be sorry
| to hear of this embarrassment
